Okay, Rev. Smitty — it's ON!

[Oeditpus Rex]

C'mon, c'mon! Puddem up, puddem UUUUUUP!

[Reverend_Smitty]

1. lol I was just getting ready to call you out...you beat me to it

we've been playing like crap the last week so I am so sorry for you guys that all that will stop tonight :P

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. So have we

And it's apparently continuing. x(

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. David Wright is on fire and that is making me a happy woman

unfortunately Carlos Delgado is a one man rally killing machine

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Vinny just said Hillary Swank is at the game

and she's wearing a Mets cap. x(

[Reverend_Smitty]

5. the TV just showed Jerry Seinfeld and you know he was wearing a Mets cap

Is Hillary Swank from NY?

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. According to IMDB

she's from Bellingham, Wash.

Doesn't matter. She'll not be having sex with me now. :P

[Reverend_Smitty]

7. lol

so you're saying if she showed up at your house wearing nothing but a Mets cap you'd tell her to leave?? you sir are a "Superfan" :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Okay, wait

I hadn't considered that particular scenario.









Damn. This is gonna take some soul-searching.

[Reverend_Smitty]

9. I would just chalk it up to nobody's perfect...

I know George Clooney roots for the Reds and there's nooooo way I'd kick him out of bed

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Hmmm... bit of irony there

George Clooney... Reds — who changed their name to "Redlegs" in the '50s, partly as a result of McCarthyism...

:crazy:

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. what other team would you expect a dirty pinko to root for?

and in more serious news...El Duque needs to settle down and stop this silliness

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. WE SCORED!!!

No, wait... WE SCORED AGAIN!!!



Do we win now? :bounce:



GAH! TIED!!!11

We haven't been tied with anybody in a week.

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. no mas! time to turn two

:mad:

[Reverend_Smitty]

27. WHEW! dodged a bullet there!

ok for series we are going to get some runs in this inning...I feel it in my bones!

[KitchenWitch]

13. Jeebus - Don't feel bad, my Twins got beat up on by the Nats last weekend

x(

[Reverend_Smitty]

15. We'll be seeing you guys sometime next week

[KitchenWitch]

16. At Shea, IIRC!

:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

17. all part of our "6 straight series' with 6 playoff teams from last year" tour

it almost doesn't seem fair x(

[KitchenWitch]

18. Well, with the Twins going back and forth between third and fourth in the division

I am thinking you don't have much to worry about.

Our boys can pitch, but it is the offense that is missing.

I wish they would fire Vavra and hire a REAL batting coach.

[Reverend_Smitty]

20. yeah but you guys have the coolest name in the majors...

Boof Bonser! :bounce:

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. I thought that was a menu item at the Paris Denny's

Boeuf Bonser. :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

25. BOOOOF!

I got to see his outing against the Angels here last week (I live in SoCal). He did not have his best stuff.

The Twins lost 16-3 that night (They had a rookie pitcher come in in the eigth inning who gave up 8 runs).

[Reverend_Smitty]

26. eeeewww

nothing worse than going to a game and being on the wrong side of a blowout

[KitchenWitch]

28. And being in the minority as far as fanbase!

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. Lucky you

Mets don't win in they own house.

:P

[Reverend_Smitty]

21. it's a sickness really

[Oeditpus Rex]

23. Does seem bizarre

I mean, even .350 clubs play close to .500 at home. :shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

24. Shea Stadium outfield...

where homerun balls go to die. I can't wait for Citi Field

[KitchenWitch]

29. Good to know!

:D

[Zomby Woof]

30. We've got a REAL GAME here

About time the Dodger bats have come alive. Or at least not abandoning as many runners as normal.

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. 'bout time you showed up, too

Now we've got her outnumbered. :evilgrin:

[Reverend_Smitty]

35. I know I have some fellow Mets fans around here

they're probably all sleeping

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. Awwww :)

Hey, I've always wondered about that. When an East Coast club is playing Out Here, do many people stay up until like 1 a.m. to watch/listen?

Seems like it'd be really cool to have a game on after midnight, but if you have to live with it, I guess it'd tend to suck.

[Reverend_Smitty]

38. I can't imagine the viewership numbers are very high...

only uberfans and night owls are watching...I guess I fall into both categories, so it doesn't really bother me. But it would suck if I had to get up at 6am.

I remember back in 99 when we played the Diamondbacks in the first round of the playoffs there were a couple of late night games. I was still in high school at the time but I stayed up and watched every game, I was bleary eyed the next morning but it was worth it

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. Well, I appreciate you being here

Baseball's more fun when you've got somebody to banter with. :D

[Reverend_Smitty]

42. DU and baseball are like my two most favorite things...

and way more fun than sleep!

[Reverend_Smitty]

31. Oh CRAP!

c'mon Lo Duca, whatcha doing throwing that ball into right field :mad:

and now friggen Schoeneweis...this game is looking more and more like a lost cause

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. WTF happened??

I was on the phone. Heard Steiner and the crowd hollerin', and now we're up 5-3, but I dunno how. :shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

34. ...

a double and an error on Beltran which allowed the runner to go to third...then you guys tried to squeeze but we pitched out and tagged the runner at third out, Lo Duca tried to make a double play at first (which he had no shot at) and ended up throwing the ball almost to the warning track in right field which allowed that runner to advance to third...THEN a bloop hit allowed that runner to score. El Duque was knocked out of the game and the third out was made

that was a mouthful

btw that was the first error on Beltran in 153 games...he picked the perfect time to break his streak :eyes: though it was a questionable error

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. Gonzo's the only guy we've got who's hot right now

Although Betemit has been a pinch-hitting marvel, and Loney's making the most of his return from Triple-A.

I'm confused, though — we're supposed to be the ones who kick the ball all over the yard. :shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

39. I guess it's an example of when it rains, it pours...

I just want this damn June swoon to end... beisbol has not been berry berry good to me :(

[Oeditpus Rex]

40. Nor to us, lately

Coming into tonight we'd lost five of six.

[Reverend_Smitty]

43. Cue Charley Brown music...

lost 7 out of 8

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. That may change tomorrow

Maine vs. Kuo.

I don't feel real good about that. x(

[Reverend_Smitty]

45. I'm trying to rationalize things in my mind...

last year we had an awesome early June and a crappy end of June including getting swept by a white hot Red Sox team...so I'm telling myself that this year it's a crappy early June but we're finishing strong.

Either that or the Spankees stole our mojo

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. Yeah, that's the ticket

Look at the Dodgers last year. We had that incredible April and more or less coasted the rest of the way.

Everybody has slumps, man — even good ball clubs. The difference with good ball clubs is they don't last as long or happen as often.
